About the blogger:

Nury "Mr. Jam" Vittachi is "Asia's funniest, most pungent columnist and author" according to the Herald-Sun (Australia). His writing is "endearingly wacky" (The Times, UK) and "quirky and original" (The Independent, UK). The Sri Lanka-born author lived in Malaysia, Singapore and the UK before moving to his current home in Hong Kong. His books have been published in many languages around the world. Known for his sense of irony, he recently told an interviewer: "My first novel failed to win the Costa First Novel prize, my second failed to win the Booker Prize, and I hope to make it a clean sweep, with my latest book failing to win the Pulitzer."
